Do the refs get any feed back from NY during the half these days?

They are missing some very obvious calls.


And I agree with not blitzing Manziel. At least for a series or two.

For that TD...duke johnson just simply outran an obviously gimpy Burfict on a drag route all the way across the field.

This is too close for comfort, especially with this team's history of wilting under the spotlight.

I know!!! These missed tackles are ridiculous and inexcusable.

Let's not forget what 58 brings against the run.

The Bengals announcers are praising Manziel.

Idk what bills talkin about I thought Gio ran equally as well

Its gotta be the all black uniforms. That's the uni combo they aore last year in this game when they got trounced.

We are playing fine guys! Browns could literally have 42 guys on the field and not get called on offense. Refs trying to keep it close for primetime. I mean, who would watch the whole game if it was 42-0?

You don't think Vinny Rey leaving his zone to come up and tackle Manziel had anything to do with a wide open TD?  We had three guys who were going to prevent Manziel from running it, yet Rey can flying up from where the guy who scored just came from.

It's really not.

It's really quite clear what the verdict is.

This team doesn't have a history of winning 7 games in a row.  History is just that - it's not today.

Yes but they are making it easy for manziel by flushing him out of the pocket. He only has to read 1 side of the field. No LB is going to cover that route.

Burfict looks slow. Hurt or not in full playing shape yet?
Rey got sucked into going after Manziel and left Johnson wide open.
Tackling still sucks.
Defense not playing inspired it seems. Better wake up.
Browns are holding, but Manziel is playing very well too.
Need to target AJ more. Not that I'm upset with the offense.

We gotta keep him contained

@CoachBillick: Manziel TD throw was vs man with LB's sorting out backfield. Like any young QB, can only throw what he sees, so why give him easy man reads?

No, it's because it's Thursday.  Therefore, I couldn't drink only from my Bengals pint glass all day or be in a jersey all day.




Damn job....

No mistakes wins this game, Browns will make a mistake.
